Hi there,

I think you have two options. One, you could ask the teacher you are subbing for to provide work for early finishers. Or, you could provide supplementary work or facilitate an activity with the students who finish first.

I have a permanent sub job with a district, but unlike what it sounds like you have, I teach a different middle school class every day. This is a fairly small school, so I see some of the same students pretty often. How do you get a class to follow directions when the teacher doesn’t leave work that can’t be finished during a period. The kids in this school are really well-behaved and get down to work when they have something to do. BUT, when they run out of something, it is hard to reign them in. Teachers always say to have them read or do homework, but this just doesn’t work. They don’t want to read, and they usually don’t have work from another class to work on.

Help!

Sorry about that! We just sent you an email.
